A reminder came through this morning explaining it’s been a bloody decade since Josh Pyke released his debut album Memories & Dust. So to celebrate this milestone and dust-off the memories, Pyke is doing what he does best: releasing a Best Of, B-Sides & Rarities album, pressing Memories & Dust into vinyl, unleashing a dreamy new single and heading out on a national headline tour.

Pyke’s new track ‘Into The Wind’ is co-written by Dustin Tebbutt and is a hypnotic and blissful blend of harmonised vocals and wistful folk guitars. It continues Pyke’s signature storytelling style as his nautical metaphors – “Hook me in again” – sit atop a new, rich and magical wall of sound.

‘Into The Wind’ is included in the Best Of album, which is set to drop on Friday, 30 June. The two disc offering includes handpicked singles from his five studio albums, rare tracks, b-sides and two new songs.

To coincide with the Best Of, Pyke perform across Australia in July and August. Pyke will be treating his fans to an extra long performance, including playing Memories & Dust in its entirety.
